Explore the evolution and significance of the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) in this 37-minute World Shared Practice Forum talk by Dr. Tony Slater, director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Delve into the research and development behind three generations of PIM, understanding the importance of acuity scoring in improving ICU quality of care. Learn about acuity score measurement development, logistic regression, risk variables, and local calibration techniques. Gain insights into interpreting results using funnel plots and sequential control charts, and understand the limitations of mortality prediction models in pediatric intensive care.
